NFP gives us Draftmetrics' analysis of each team's drafts of the last five and ten years, and they say that your Houston Texans have been the very definition of mediocre (17th over the last ten years, 16th over the last five years).

Their metrics may be called into question (e.g., Pro Bowl honors are often a popularity contest, which is quite different from being the best at one's position), but it's generally an interesting read. Your thoughts on the Texans' draft prowess over the last five and ten years?
